Welcome to Toad Hall Cellars

Toad Hall Cellars is a second generation family winery owned by The Komes Family, John and Carrie along with sons Otto and Nat, specializing in limited production Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and a Meritage blend known as Bodacious.

Toad Hall Cellars has been producing small productions of premium wines since 1984. It started out as a family project, which began with 10 cases of Chardonnay. Since then, Toad Hall Cellars has continued to produce wines from the family-owned vineyards in Napa Valley, representing two top appellations of the region: Carneros and Rutherford.

The name Toad Hall Cellars was created long before the varietals for bottling were even decided upon. Carrie, prior to her active participation as a winery entrepreneur, was a children’s librarian. The main character in the “The Wind in the Willows” is a “lovable rebel” called Toad. To Carrie, husband John, with his enthusiastic nature, independent attitude and gusto for living was a real life caricature of Toad. These traits, and John’s gift for spinning a good tale, led her to christen him “Mr. Toad”. And there the story began . . .
